		1913 Ford Model T, arriving at the Smithsonian in 1935.
		The museum's Model T was purchased new for $600 in Rochester, N.Y., in 1913.
		The Model T was cheap by comparison to other early automobiles, and that fact, coupled with its availability and its relative dependability, made motoring an option for many people who had initially been priced out of the market.

	Science Fair Projects - Ford Model T
		The Model T (colloquially known as the Tin Lizzie and the Flivver) was an automobile produced by Henry Ford's Ford Motor Company from 1908 through 1928.
		The Model T was a great commercial success, and for years in the late 1910s and early 1920s it was estimated that more than half of all motorcars in existence in the world were Model T Fords.
		Many Model T parts are still manufactured today, particularly fibreglass replicas of their distinctive bodies, which are popular for T-bucket style hot rods (as immortalized in the Jan and Dean surf music song, "Bucket T", which was later recorded by The Who).

		Sales of the "Tin Lizzie," or "flivver," as the T was known, were boosted by promotional activities ranging from a fl-tie "Ford Clinic" in New York, where a team of mechanics showcased the car, to Model T rodeos out west, in which cowboys riding in Fords tried to rope calves.
		Ford gained complete control of the company at a cost of $125 million -- $106 million of the stock, plus $19 million for the court-ordered dividend -- a fantastic outlay that he financed with a $75 million loan from two eastern banks.
		When the last Model T rolled off the assembly line, it was not the end of an era, it was still the very dawn of the one that the little car had inaugurated.

	Ford Motor Company
		Model Ts manufactured from 1908 through 1916 had brass radiator jackets, while the 1917 through 1925 cars had fl-painted radiator shells and the 1926 and 1927 cars, the final two years of production, had nickel-plated radiator shells.
		Almost revolutionary when she first appeared, the T was obsolete and behind the times at the time of its demise; no matter what it had accomplished, it had failed to change with the times it itself had forced to change, so it was supplanted by the famed Model A for the 1928 season.
		When the T entered production in 1908, the Ford Motor Company quickly became one of the largest manufacturing concerns in the world; it was not long before a full-scale assembly line was operating in Windsor and subsidiary plants set up across the country, including a plant in Winnipeg.

		Steering was another novel idea on the Model T. Instead of mounting a conventional gearbox at the bottom of the steering column, Henry fitted a small planetary gearset under the steering wheel.
